Is there a list of phrases that someone can recommend to me over the internet? Thank you.

Answer

应该是跳出 (什么什么框框) 来思考，口语这样说大家都懂的，说得优美点叫 打破常规来思考 （好像是这样，但是我个人不是很赞成，因为谁来定义常规思维呢）。

有个概念叫，思维定势，我相信你懂得。

If you like, you could explain more about the expression of "think out of the box". Then I could analyze its exact meaning and give you a definitive answer.

Have a good day! 我们一般不说，就说 拜拜。如果有人去party，才说 玩得开心。

祝今天过得愉快。 这种表述就是直接翻译英语，当然你硬要这样说，让人感觉很怪（it sounds weird）。如果是那个人在国外待过，可以原谅，习惯一时改不过来了。

You know, different culture has its own expression. It's not a good idea to translate something just literally.

中国文化和语言相对于美国来说没有那么直接。（个人除外，我指的整体而言），打个比方，lang time to see (actually, we want to ask where have you been these days and how are you. I haven't seen you for quit a while, but I concern about your recent status), 说得好听点，这叫 含蓄。还有什么笑不露齿（这是古人的礼仪了，现在或多或少也有的，而且貌似专门针对女子，男权社会，你懂得，看看礼仪小姐就明白了）等等。
